Prince and president back on each other’s radars over visa issues

Prince Harry has now wrapped his Invictus Games for another couple of years and should have more time to prepare a potential legal defence if his US visa is challenged.

The Duke of Sussex now lives a markedly quieter life in California with his wife Meghan Markle than he was used to in Britain.

But while he now focuses on charity work, occasional Netflix production, and looking after his family, one aspect of living Stateside that Harry may not have bargained on is that it has brought him into closer contact with Donald Trump.

The US president is monitoring a situation around legal action to potentially revoke the prince’s US visa if Harry is seen to have lied on his application regarding his previous drug use.

A right-wing pressure group called the Heritage Foundation has pressed for a lawsuit against the Department for Homeland Security over the visa.

It comes after Harry, in his memoir Spare, admitted using cannabis and cocaine, and magic mushrooms which the foundation says in its lawsuit “generally renders such a person inadmissible for entry” to the country.

Homeland has so far refused to make the visa application public to show whether or not the prince lied.

“Much like health, financial, or employment information, a person’s immigration information is private personal information,” a statement read.
